DESIGN FOR TEST (DFT)

DURATION - 14 Weeks

STARTS FROM - 23rd March 2019

Course Overview:

Design For Testability (DFT) is a specialization in the SOC design cycle, which facilitates design for detecting manufacturing defects. With the increase in size & complexity of chips, facilitated by the advancement of manufacturing technologies, DFT has evolved as a specialization in itself over a period of time. DFT Engineers works on introducing various test structures as part of the design flow, on increasing the testability of logic, pads, memories, interconnects.

The course is designed and will be delivered by experts in DFT, as per current industry project requirements. Importance is given to cover the concepts, methodology thoroughly with right emphasis on hands-on training, using Synopsys DFT tools with at least 50 % time allocated to lab sessions.

Tools to be used:

Synopsys DFT tool suite will be used, with one dedicated license for each trainee.

DFT Compiler – For Scan Insertion

BSD Compiler – For Boundary Scan Insertion

TetraMax — For ATPG / pattern Generation

VCS — For Simulations and Debugging

Additional Lab Hours through VPN, to enable you to spend more time on labs from home. This is on top of Trainer led lab sessions during Saturdays.

Certification:

Certification from ChipEdge after successful completion of the course.

Trainer:

The trainer has 19+ years of VLSI industry Experience, with strong experience in DFT and currently working as manager in one of the product company. He is passionate about teaching & sharing his knowledge and mentored entry / mid-level engineers throughout his career.

TESTIMONIALS

Excellent courses for both freshers and experienced people in VLSI and very good support from ChipEdge staffs.Its a good place to explore the knowledge as per industry standard.

– Nanda Khanapur

The quality of teaching is top notch. The trainer has answered all our queries with patience, clarity and enthusiasm. All has been done with extreme professionalism. Chipedge DFT program is very unique in a sense that a separate training program on DFT is very rare at least in India.

– Vasanth

9 years of RTL Design and Verification Experience. Working at TechVulcan

I feel fortunate to have found one such unique course and enrolled for it. The course has given a lot of exposure to DFT and broken my idea that DFT is an easy job to do.

– Hardik K

M.Tech Fresher, placed in Imspired Solutions

Trainer has good experience which helped us in all labs whenever we were stuck at some problems. Being a fresher, I don’t have any practical knowledge about DFT. Expectation was this course will help me build and improve my basics.

– Kiran

Trainer is very helpful even in very small and silly doubts explain everything asked to him. About course, it was very good. When I have started I have so many doubts but now at the end of this course doubts are clear with clear understanding of concepts.

– S Kanjariya

M-Tech Fresher, Placed at Imspired Solutions

Labs were very helpful and it helped me understand scan concepts very well. Trainer was very knowledgeable and helped us in understanding concepts. It bridged gap between industry and academics.

– Shruthi S

M.tech VLSI Fresher, joined Imspired

Concepts were explained with focus on Fundamentals. Labs are very well formulated making us understand the significance of each step and command. Trainer has a very good expertise in DFT along with the patience to deliver it to the students, reaching to their level of understanding. Gives personal attention to everyone in the class. VPN has helped to work at home and get good hands on.

– Ranjana Mathur

Verification Engineer

Trainer is great, anytime ready to solve problems, in and out of class, never gets irritated to our silly doubts, on top of it her experience in DFT is commendable. I recommend everyone who are curious to work or to explore in DFT , no other institute will match Chipedge.

– Ramesh

The course was really good and able to learn tool oriented way. Trainer was really good and he explained each and every topic. He was able to clear all our doubts. He is having a very good knowledge in the DFT domain and expertise in tools. Met most of my Expectation.

– Dipu P

Software Engineer, Accenture

It is a much needed course for every ASIC engineer. I am from FPGA background and I could realize the importance of DFT techniques for chip qualification.
I have joined the course to understand the basics of DFT and its implication to front end design. The purpose of LINT checks for DFT is understood. Considerable confidence is gained in DFT scan chain insertion, ATPG and MBIST DFT using tools.

– Chandran

8+ years of RTL Design, FPGA validation Experience

Trainer has good experience which helped us in all labs whenever we were stuck at some problems. Being a fresher, I don’t have any practical knowledge about DFT. Expectation was this course will help me build and improve my basics.
